Postmaster Conxer,x Successor.

AN IMPRESSION THAT THE APPOINTMENT WILL SOON
BE AADE-THE TERM OF OFFICE QUESTION.
There Is general impression that the appoint
ment of a postmaster for the District to succeed
Postmaster Conger viii be made at an early day.
No Information can be obtained about the matter
at the White House, and there are no indications
of an Immediate appointment. The probability
OF any early change IS based upon the under
standing that as Postmaster Conger's term has
expired, the President can MI the Office
without being put TO the necessity
or removing the present postmaster and
nothing now stands IN the way Of the appointment
OF ie!noer OF his own party 10 the desirable posi-
ton. The Local democrats who are applicants
for the office are therefore bringing all their IN
nuence 10 bear In their behalf IL Is learned how
ever. that although Mr.. COnger assumed the Office
on the both OF June, 1889, On recess appointment
he was not confirmed until the Goth OF December
or that year, and his four-y years term began on
the latter date. IL Is still unsettled point
whether an officials term begins from date OF his
confirmation or from the date OF the oath of ONCE
The Treasury Department officials hold that the
term begins with taking the oath, but according
10 the commissions or pOStmaSters, those officials
are appointed for four years from the date OF con-
hrination- 1t Is not known whether the President
cons1iers Postmaster COngerS term TO have ex.
pired or not but In all similar cases heretofore q
decision OF the unsettled question has been
avoided by delaying the appointment Of q sue
ceSor until there Is no doubt about the expiration
OF the term.

A Wise Philadelphia Virgin.

From the st. Louis Republican.
One OF the greatest bellies and hetresses ia Phil
adelphia and beauty besides, married a rather
gOOd-lOok1ng young man without business or q
penny. She had been courted assiduously by one
of the greatest beaux in town, q rich, young man,
with fortune, prestige, and everything back OF
him except that he was gay and had sown an I'M.
menSe crop OF wild oats. He sent her the most ex.
pensives presents, which she would not accept
Scores OF influential friends tried to help ON his
cause and the most skillful female diplomats tried
to induce her to discard the young man, who had
nothing and no friends but herself Her own
family, with an exception, did everything to In
duce her to prefer the rich saitOr. Young as she
was, and with all society making pet OF her she
gave up everything-gave up society, gave up
home, gave up every luxury and fascination that
women are supposed to hold dear-aAd married
the man OF her choice. When some one said to
her:
"Why did you make the choice you did. Why
refuse SO much that most girls value dearly?" She
replied.
II married for two things-charaoter and NOR.
atty. My husband had them both and the other
didn't. | loved and respected one; the other
could not"

A MURDEROUS ASSAULT
'sTObc'' Parker Shot i'm the Breast By
Osborne.

Shortly after IL o'clock to-day murderous as
Parker, a negro about % years old, by Solomon
osborne, also cOlored, about II years OF age The
assault occurred in street alley, between 4th
and 9TH and streets northwest, not far from
the second precinct station, and both parties are
well-knOwn to the police.
A STAR reporter went to the alley mentioned
which Is inhabited by number OF colOred families
Statements made by cOlOred men who Witnessed
the shooting are TO the effect that Basey had a
cigar in his hand when Parker came along. The
latter requested or demanded the cigar which WAS
refused him, whereupOn he grabbed at 1t, catching
Basey's shirt and tearing it. "You had better 90
away from me-" said Basey; "some OF you men Will
Parker insisted that he was going to get the
cigar, and Basey said: '.YOu s. Of a -, you,
You don't let Inc alone I'll kill you-
They sep irated, but subsequently returned and
lOltered about the alley for nearly half an hour
when Parker appeared upon the scene with his
behind another negro named Sheppard GOOdall,
ana did not move until Parker got almost
opposite him, when he drew the revolver and tax
Ing aim over Goodalrs shoulder he fired.
THE BULLET HIT IT'S MARK.
81 told you / would kill you, you -ofa-n
said Basey as he lowered his weapon and ran out
OF the alley. Parker walked about 10 feet and laid
down on the cObble-Stones. Several men picked
him up and carried him to the station-houSe
where Dr. W. II. Taylor was called to attend him
An examination showed that the bullet had en-
tered the right breast, just right of the main line,
and struck the cartilage OF the seventh rib.
The police ambulance conveyed the injured man
to Freedman'S hospital where DR.. Purvis probed
for the ball. but failed to ind it. The bullet 1t Is
supposed, entered his stomach, and the physicians
think the wounded mans chances for
recovery are doubtful. The Injured
man threw his hand TO his breast as the bullet
struck him, but did not say anything. While In
the station he said he felt very bad
His asSaiiant, like himself Is well known to the
police, and a description has been sent TO the
various police stations notifying the officers to
arrest him.
OSBORNE, AND NOT BASEY.
Later information Is to the effect that the real
name OF the boy who did the shooting Is Osborne,
and not Basey.
